If selected for the Global Korea Scholarship (GKS) program, my first goal is to successfully reach a Korean language proficiency level 4 that allows me to thrive both academically and socially. Before starting my undergraduate coursework, I will put in dedicated effort to build my language skills so I can participate fully in lectures, discussions, and everyday life in Korea. To do this, I will continue learning from Korean learning platforms like TalkToMeInKorean and Korean unnie, and practice speaking as much as possible before departure.
Once in Korea, I will actively engage in language buddy group, join conversation clubs, and communicate with classmates to strengthen my fluency. By using Korean daily whether ordering food, asking questions in class, or watching local news I hope to adapt smoothly. My goal is to achieve at least TOPIK level 4 during my language program years to keep up with academic demands and to connect deeply with Korean culture.
Academically, I aim to become one of the top-performing students in my department. I will attend lectures with keen interest, take detailed notes, and prepare ahead for each class. To deepen my understanding, I plan to spend time at university libraries exploring books and journals related to human behavior, counseling, and mental health. I will also participate in group discussions, psychology clubs, and volunteer opportunities that allow me to gain practical exposure to real-life cases.
Through consistent effort and active participation in seminars and workshops, I hope to build a strong foundation in Psychology that I can apply in various settings. Maintaining a high 3.5 GPA will be a priority for me, and I will take responsibility for managing my time well to complete all assignments, projects, and exams successfully.
